Criminal Trial — Circumstantial Evidence — Inference of guilt — When can be drawn, in a case based on circumstantial evidence: In a case based on circumstantial evidence, circumstances from which an inference of guilt is sought to be drawn, must be cogently and firmly established. Those circumstances must be conclusive in nature unerringly pointing towards guilt of accused. Moreover, all circumstances taken cumulatively should form a complete chain and there should be no gap left in the chain of evidence. Further, proved circumstances must be consistent only with hypothesis of guilt of accused and totally inconsistent with his innocence. [State of H.P. v. Raj Kumar]
